Any one on here good with lawnmowers?

Have a craftsman zero turn only a couple of years old. It won't turn over. Changed spark plugs, filters, carburetor, fuel pump and fresh gas. Just seeing if there is anything else I can try before putting it in a shop. Thanks.

Could be your ignition coil

Alternator? Battery? Starter?

When you say “won’t turn over”, do you mean nothing happens when you turn the key? Or, that it spins, but won’t start?

The starter isn't turning the motor over?
Why did you do any of that stuff?
It's probably the battery, starter, or a switch.

My wife is. What do you need to know?

Check the seat switch. Could be corroded or disconnected. You can easily bypass it to narrow down the process of elimination.

I backed mine into the front ditch and turned it over completely on top of me. Bring the MF’er over here. I can turn it over.

Check connections. My Mom's did this last summer and after spending hours trying to figure it out, it ended up being a simple loose switch connection under the seat.

Battery. Starter solenoid.

Not the solenoid. It has spark. Everything is going but just won't start. I sprayed a little starting fluid in the carburetor and it started for a second and died.

Think if she showed up, I would forget the lawnmower.

Only put non-ethanol, gas in any small engine.
You carb is clogged.

See if it has a clogged spark arrestor.
